Header Design & Build

[Kevinrevin]

Incredible job.
It would be interesting to dyno to compare the new one to some typical Tbucket headers (like the sprint style).

Looks good! I can see the attention to detail and imagine the time and effort invested.

It's been fun and tedious at the same time, but more tedious at the end of this project.

Thanks !!!

I still have my sprint style headers, so someday when the engine is out for some reason I hope to test.

Well Indy, I've slept on it and frankly these look like Basil did the plumbing repair at Fawlty Towers. But they will look smashing on your bucket. You inspire me to carry on with my puny plans.

Thanks I guess !!! hehehe !!!

OK, Indy, I win! Finished my pipes. Well, at least the part I'm doing:

That's a 12-disc assembly. Have no idea how many discs I'll run.
And from now on my pipes will be in my project thread.

What size collector did you end up with?

What size collector did you end up with?

Looks like 4" will do it. My Sanderson sprint-style pipes are 3-1/2" and I always thought they look a little puny.

Nice. Looking forward to outcome.

OK, Indy, I win! Finished my pipes.

It depends on how you define winning ??? LOL !!! Well that was easy on your part.

When are you taking your car to GP or Stainless to have them built?

What size collector did you end up with?

I'm going the opposite direction on the final collector ( I have 3 per side ), mine will be 3 inch diameter
and about 20 inches long.

I hope to ship mine back to GP Headers on Monday February 3rd 2020.

Got a picture? I’m having trouble seeing that! Lol

Seeing what ...... 3 collectors per side ?

Well.... yes! Are you going to build a crate to ship in or get a big box?

I always define winning to make me look good. GP in the Spring, when it gets dry here. Still noodling on the design, but you have me on uniqueness (is that a real word?).

 

[PotvinGuy]

OK, finished my design and maybe we tie on that:

I'm going to try the UPS store close by and see what they charge to box it and ship. I have
located a local supplier for cardboard material if I need to create my own.

I've noticed that about you!!!

That sure doesn't look like your engine ???

Well, maybe I changed motors, did you ever think of that?

I sure wish we lived closer to each other, I think we would get along great !
